 Noe recommends nutritional supplements that nourish and rebuild the intestinal lining and restore good bacteria to the bowel. If there are enough good bacteria there, they will crowd out the bad types that can contribute to digestive problems.
"I also may recommend enzymes that help break down food for proper digestion if tests suggest that someone's pancreas is not producing enough for normal digestion," she says. The following supplements are among those that Dr. Noe recommends.
?500 to 750 milligrams of the amino acid glutamine

| A healthy, whole-foods diet and nutritional supplements are often suggested. Some supplements that may alleviate TMJ problems are calcium and magnesium—to relax muscles, and the B-complex of vitamins. Also, antispasmodic herbs, such as the herbal mixture called Euphytose, can help relieve jaw pain.
Tinnitus
Many of us who live in excessively noisy surroundings learn to acclimate to this lifestyle, not aware of the consequences that could eventually develop. One of these is tinnitus, a ringing or tinkling sound in one or both ears. |

Nutrients that can help asthma include bee pollen and honey (particularly in attacks brought on by hay fever); hydrochloric acid for attacks precipitated by insufficient amounts of stomach acid; and bromelain, an enzyme found in pineapples, that alleviates inflamed bronchi. Bromelain works even better when combined with quercetin and vitamin C. |
| Changes in diet, the use of nutritional supplements, and reduction of environmental toxins can all have a positive impact on MS patients.
Diet
Aneurologist by the name of Roy L. Swank has been studying dietary factors related to MS and publishing his results in peer-reviewed medical journals since the 1950s. His long-range studies show that strict adherence to a low-fat diet, consisting of no more than 20 g of fat per day, produce the best results. Saturated fats, including those found in red meat, dark meat, and palm and coconut oils, should be eliminated or eaten rarely. |
| In general, the health of our veins can be enhanced by maintaining proper weight, exercising to improve circulation, and eating foods and nutritional supplements that support the liver. Much blood circulates through the liver, and if the liver becomes congested, the whole venous system can back up. This, in turn, adds pressure on the veins, damages valves, and results in varicose veins. Foods that support the liver include beets, artichokes, and dark-skinned fruits and berries, such as blueberries, cherries, and dark-skinned grapes. |

 Whether we use drugs, herbs, nutritional supplements, acupuncture, homeopathy, or any other therapy to treat a disease, the basic story remains the same: We are attempting to eliminate the condition by treating or curing it. Rather than considering the hypertension, asthma, cancer, heart disease, or emotional disorder as "things" that need fixing, we need a different approach.
We must dispel the myths of the past that empower the institution of medicine, and spawn not only the same kind of thoughts and discoveries as the old model, but subsequently limit its evolution. |

| Today many doctors insist (as if they had any idea) that a correctly balanced diet should not demand nutritional supplements. This might have been possible 200 to 300 years ago before the food industry began to heavily manipulate the food supply. Today nutritional supplementing seems both urgent and obligatory.

Hagiwara, a Japanese Pharmacologists andphysician, developed one of the most powerful whole food concentrates I know, Barleygreen. |

| As a result, the nutritionist might suggest a different diet or nutritional supplements. If we decide to see a chiropractor, we may be told that the messages between our brain and respiratory passages are impinged upon by interference of the spinal nerves. The chiropractor's story centers around the need for messages from the brain to reach every vital organ and part of the body so that our life force will express itself properly. |

 His treatment protocol uses diet, antioxidants, nutritional supplements, and low-dose hydrocortisone.
As mentioned earlier, hydrocortisone is the synthetic version of Cortisol—a naturally occurring adrenal hormone. An interesting historical note here is that some doctors were already treating fatigued states in patients in the 1960s. They termed the condition hypoadrenia, adrenal insufficiency, adrenal exhaustion, or "a bite of Addison's" disease— a condition of adrenal hypofunction characterized by weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and increased skin pigmentation. |

| Makers of supplements have been infusing everything from nutritional supplements to face creams with these life-giving molecules and marketing the nucleic acids through health food stores. Not surprisingly, they often claim miraculous results.
The bottom line from experts, however, is that we need much more research before we can justify using them in anything. Besides, if you're interested in these acids, you can get them from food sources, say experts. Just one tablespoon of brewer's yeast packs a heaping 1.5 grams of RNA. |

 The sole means of preventing and curing these pathological states is by taking mineral and nutritional supplements.
As John Hamaker and Donald Weaver suggest in their book Survival of Civilization, we may understand precisely "why everything living on earth has reached a point of slow death by starvation . . . The quality (health, vigor, intelligence, longevity, and so on) of every living organism depends on the protoplasm of life in the soil, which is itself dependent upon the availability of mineral elements from rock. |

 By using natural methods—herbal remedies and nutritional supplements along with a body-strengthening diet—she has managed to remain symptom-free and healthy.
Jones has found that a healthful diet is essential for people with hepatitis C because it's the liver's job to filter and detoxify all of the potentially harmful substances in your body. Your goal should be to avoid taxing your liver with foods such as the following, which are hard for the body to detoxify.
• Animal products, especially red meats, which are loaded with antibiotics, growth hormones, and steroids. |

| Since dietary changes, nutritional supplements, exercise, and stress control can be so helpful for controlling high blood pressure, the best professional to treat your blood pressure problem may be a naturally oriented physician, says Julian Whitaker, M.D., founder and director of the Whitaker Wellness Institute in Newport Beach, California.
If your blood pressure is 160/100 or higher, however, you may need pressure-lowering drugs as well as natural remedies, he cautions. Have your blood pressure checked annually, especially if you have a family history of hypertension. |

 He began doing mind/body exercises and started taking deprenyl and a number of nutritional supplements and natural medicinal tonics.
He experienced a dramatic shift in cognitive function. On his way home from consulting with me, he endured a long wait in the Dallas airport without becoming emotionally upset. Normally, he told me, a frustrating experience like that would have "driven him crazy."
His memory improved almost immediately, and his ability to concentrate became considerably enhanced. |
| Perhaps you've started using certain nutritional supplements, or taking some natural medicinal tonics. Maybe you've begun doing the mind/body exercises, or possibly you've asked your doctor to place you on one of the cognitive-enhancing medications.
If so, now you know that this approach is very effective.
It's exciting, isn't it?
But the best is yet to come.
It will come when you begin a full-spectrum brain longevity program. When you fully integrate the entire multi-modality program into your life, you will reach your own peak performance levels of cognitive function. You'll feel smarter. |
| He was already taking a relative abundance of nutritional supplements, but like many people, he was taking some supplements he didn't need, and was not taking some that he did need. He was also taking too many of his supplements at the end of the day, instead of in the morning. I recommended that he "front-load" his supplements early in the day, so that he could get more energy from them during his workday.
J.R. enjoyed doing the mind/body exercises. He had never tried anything quite like them before, and was open to anything new that might, as he put it, "take me to the next level. |
| Let's start by looking at particular nutritional supplements, and the roles they can play in cognition. After that, I'll describe natural medicinal tonics that will boost your brain power.
Every day, you should take several key nutrients. Some of these nutrients are in standard multiple vitamins. They may not, however, be present in sufficient quantities in a multiple vitamin to reverse cognitive dysfunction, or to stimulate optimal cognitive function. Often, nutrients in multiple vitamins are present only in sufficient quantities to prevent frank pathology from vitamin deficiency. |

 My world was becoming smaller and smaller in spite of my special diet, herbal and nutritional supplements, and environmental controls outside of work. Moving to my mother's home in North Carolina was not an option. I could not tolerate her fully carpeted house, let alone deal with all the ramifications of having to admit I could no longer work.
Religion was not a big focus in my family. My father never spoke to us about his religious convictions. My mother was disillusioned with the Catholic Church, and exposed us to the teachings only out of a feeling of obligation. |

 If you have diabetes, if you use too much alcohol or have a history of alcohol abuse, if your cholesterol level is very high, or if your diet is loaded with saturated fat, you should take special nutritional supplements. Use GLA supplements (black currant seed oil, borage oil, or evening primrose oil capsules) for omega-6 sources, and EPA fish oil supplements for omega-3 needs. (Be sure EPA capsules are certified free of PCBs, other organic chemicals, heavy metals and rancidity—fish oil capsules from Carlson's Laboratories of Arlington, Illinois, have one of the best ratings. |

| On a daily basis these children were administered nutritional supplements consisting of high doses of eleven vitamins and eight minerals. During the first half of the test period—four months—the IQs of these children improved from 5 to 9.6 points whereas those of the children in the test group receiving placebos showed no change. During the second four-month period the same supplements were also provided to the group that had previously been given placebos, with the result that their IQs improved by at least 10.2 points, a noticeable increase. |

| Recently, a study was completed there involving nutritional supplements: Test groups were given various minerals and vitamins at twice the recommended daily allowance (which is actually a fairly low amount). Thus one group received 120 mg of Vitamin C (note that the lowest-dose Vitamin C tablet is 500 mg and that Linus Pauling advised taking 10,000 mg a day as a way to avoid cancer), another group took zinc, another Vitamin E, and so forth. At this stage a clear result emerged for only one group: that which had been given a combination of Vitamin E, beta-carotene, and selenium. |
| KIDNEY STONES AND THE ROLE OF CALCIUM
If you are suffering from kidney stones, the first thing that your doctor will recommend is avoiding all foods containing calcium, including dairy products and nutritional supplements, because it is currently believed by some physicians that kidney stones are formed from the calcium that is absorbed through food, whereas the opposite is the case. |
